Welcome to your community hospital. Together, Grace and Valdese Hospitals have been serving people throughout our area for nearly 175 years. We are honored that you and your physician have entrusted your care to us, as have generations before. In 1999, our two hospitals partnered to create a single community health system called Blue Ridge HealthCare (BRHC). A Board of Directors made up of local citizen volunteers oversees BRHC. We are affiliated with Charlotte-based Carolinas HealthCare System, one of the leading healthcare organizations in the Southeast.
